The current economic climate within the mineral processing industry has led to the need for greater diligence in study work and an increase in the drive to ensure operations are performing optimally. Falling grades and more complex ores have added to the difficulty faced by mineral projects. More than ever before, an improvement in the knowledge which can lead to better quality decision making is an imperative for all project owners and operators.
About
Before the recent financial crisis, many of the small to medium sized mining and mineral processing consultancies had been absorbed by the bigger market players. This has resulted in today’s shortfall in the marketplace for the individual consultant with links to larger networks that could deliver work in a cost effective manner and without the associated expensive overhead structures of the larger firms. Tees Minerals has been established to help fill this gap.
